We have countless examples of spreadsheet errors in political organisation. The mistakes made are elementary and often occur when passing information from system A to system B manually. A basic lack of checking, corroboration and validation has derailed democracy once again
These errors are great examples of how little thought is put into the use of spreadsheets for critical decision making. So much confidence was bestowed on #Excel, no one bothered to check if it was correct. Its a mistake we repeat time and again.
